We know what makes one a pseud. What makes one a true intellectual?

Being smart and not being a pretentious dick about it.

Would a true intellectual think of himself as an intellectual?

>>9572371
No. That's what he essentially said.

>>9572371
No. An "intellectual" will surround himself with people who will challenge and complement his intelligence. A non-pseud doesnt even know he is an intellectual; it just happens.

Is this cat a pseud or a true intellectual?

This game is rigged.

That's the only way to truly intellectual. Everyone else is a pseud.

Piety and play. Intellectualism is a state of mind, not an aspect of cognition. There are unintelligent intellectuals - those we'd call pseuds

Pseud literally comes from pseudointellectual. There are intelligent pseuds and dumb pseuds. What they're not is intellectual. You had one job and you fucked it up. Time to kys yourself.

being an intellectual is like being an OG. If you're a real OG, you don't need to tell anyone. They just know.

and that's some real gangsta shit
